Every project is answerable to its stakeholders: regulators, investors, owners, community groups and others. Corvative can leverage a project’s existing knowledge base to produce documentation to support stakeholder needs. This can range from memos to the government or presentations to an enquiry to full feasibility reports or investment decision business cases.
A study report is cross-disciplinary and will draw on the work of multiple consultants, particularly in environmental and engineering fields. It is usually informed by multiple secondary studies, surveys and investigations such as geological, geotechnical, ecological, groundwater and surface water, social, cultural heritage, market and economic, and by a prefeasibility or feasibility design process. All these investigations need to be reflected in the study report.
Length and density vary, but a feasibility report or investor submission can easily run 700 to 900+ pages (200,000 to 300,000 words plus graphics) and take a year or more to produce. A realistic estimate for building an initial feasibility report for a major project is 1,300 to 1,500 person-hours (on top of the secondary studies). In practice, subsequent reports and submissions go much faster as the accessible knowledge base develops.
